I have a cream ale I brewed a week ago. I was going to rack it to secondary tonight but my family is off for vacation for a week and I have to hurry and pack for the trip. I dont think there is anything bad with leaving it another week but I figured I would ask.

I've left beers in primary buckets for three weeks without any issue whatsoever. It's fine, I'd personally be comfortable stretching that up to a month (probably not much longer than that). Almost every time I brew, the beer sits in primary (until very recently, always in a bucket) for at least two weeks (I'm lazy, I hate racking).
